Power Tools
Some examples of power tools you might come into contact with are the following:
- Saws
- Grinders
- Drills
- Presses
- Pneumatic nail guns or jackhammers
- Airless spray guns
- Hydraulic jacks
Most injuries are a result of improper use or handling of the power tool. Often these injuries include lacerations, burns, and amputations. The most common injuries are caused by the following:
- Touching the cutting or drilling component
- Getting caught in a moving part
- Being struck by an item that has been ejected from the tool or machinery
- Falling in the work area
When it comes to hazardous waste operations, another hazard is the danger of a power tool sparking and causing an ignition of dangerous vapors or gases.
